BUSINESS SUMMARY 
Cable & Wireless – telecommunications are its vocation. The British Group, Cable & Wireless, established at the end of the 19th century, has, over the years, acquired a wealth of experience in the telecommunications environment. It is currently one of the world leaders in this field. After focusing on setting up fixed and mobile telephony networks, it has now moved into the Internet era. Through its new unit, Cable & Wireless Global, it has become a major player in Web services for companies: installation of high-speed Internet and Intranet networks, hosting and site architecture and e-commerce, for example. With over 23, 000 employees, Cable & Wireless is established in the USA, Europe and Japan and is launching a new project – the creation of an international fiber optic network. A confuse success, as C&W sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for its US operation.
